More than 10,000 experts met at this year’s German Congress for Orthopedic and Trauma Surgery (DKOU), which took place in Berlin, Germany, from 25-28 October. The motto of the congress was »Back to the future«. At STORZ MEDICAL’s stand, visitors had the opportunity to get to know the advantages of the new MASTERPULS® MP200 »ultra«. The radial shock wave device is also STORZ MEDICAL’s current »Product of the Season«: Customers who order the device before December 15, 2016, receive a V-ACTOR® handpiece and a touch screen free of charge.

One device – three cutting-edge technologiesThe new MASTERPULS® MP200 »ultra« makes working with the patient pleasant, efficient and flexible – the ideal prerequisites for individualized and successful treatment. In order to ideally round out the overall concept of the treatment portfolio, the MASTERPULS® MP200 »ultra« uses two flanking technologies that effectively support shock wave therapy. Apart from the established vibration and massage therapy with the V-ACTOR® handpiece, the device additionally offers the new VACU-ACTOR® vacuum therapy. This form of treatment is particularly suitable for treating muscles, as well as fascial and connective tissue structures.

Another highlight is the fact that the quiet radial »FALCON« handpiece offers pressure settings of 0.3 bareff to 5.0 bareff for the first time. This enables users to apply low-energy shock waves to very painful areas. The extensive transmitter programme includes standard transmitters for the treatment of classic indications, PERI-ACTOR® transmitters (according to Swart/Di Maio) for fascia therapy and SPINE-ACTOR® transmitters for the treatment of painful functional disorders in the paravertebral region.
